However, sometimes combat is unavoidable. In which case we will need our Operators to be prepared for boarding battles on the outer platforms.

The details are clearly outlined in the documentation, Doctor. If you have any further questions, I believe Dr. Kal'tsit will be more than willing to assist you.

Are you sure this is a feasibility study?

What?

It includes every enemy we've encountered.;This is for an operation, not a training plan, right?;Our elites are already involved, and it's still 'under testing'?

No matter how detailed the plan, it still requires a feasibility study.

Personally, I do think it is quite well conceived.

But I need you and Amiya to understand it and provide your own input.

After all, I'm not the one who will be implementing it.

Let me know if there are any aspects of the plan that you do not understand, and I'll explain them.

It's all quite clear to me.;Explain this part, Dr. Kal'tsit!

Very good. I'll arrange the simulations as soon as possible.

Amiya, does Doctor have any free time today?

There are a full slate of meetings scheduled today, only a small open slot right before bedtime, but—

I'll book a meeting then, so we can go over all the materials together, Doctor.

Amiya, I'd like you to attend as well.

Of course.

Where's Closure? We notified her of the meeting two hours ago.

Closure, you're here.;The meeting's already over.;.... (points to the clock)

Sorry, girls. Didn't see the notification until just now, and I rushed over soon as I could.

So did you need something?

...How is the debugging of the Protocol Simulator going?

You'll have to be more specific. We're working on simulators for the logistics platform, the visitor authentication system, the workshop data center, the warehouse management system—and that's just this week.

(hushed tone) The boarding battle simulator. The latest one.

Oh, <i>that</i> one! Ha! I was working on it when you called—I might even have been done by now if you hadn't.

Can you give Doctor admin rights then?

Uhh... well...

Is there a problem?

Since you said we needed to make the mapping independent of Rhodes Island's existing systems—and keep it high clearance level—there might still be some issues with permission settings.

No worries, though. It'll be ready by tomorrow.

I want to review the current version, then. No doubt there are a few problems we can resolve rather quickly.

With your help? We'll be done in a jiffy!

Wait for me outside the meeting room.

I have some final things to discuss with Doctor, and then I'll join you at the workshop.

Gotcha.

Oh yeah, Doctor! We got a whole bunch of new stuff over at Procurement! Come check it out when you're free!

Amiya, you have some personal business to attend to, yes?

Ah, right, please excuse me.

Kal'tsit? Why did you cut off the power?;Do you have some secret info for me?

(hushed tone) The Stronghold Protocol is designed to protect Rhodes Island from outside invaders.

(hushed tone) However, I hope that when you implement it, you will adopt a more... flexible approach to deploying defenses.

(hushed tone) Or rather, please do so.

(hushed tone) After all, enemies do not always come from the outside.
